This sweet, heartwarming family comedy concerns the efforts of a young man to break away from his New Jersey roots, even as his grandparents, Italian on both sides, attempt to get him settled down with "a nice girl" from the neighborhood. As he struggles to set out on his own, the young man learns a thing or two about his grandparents, himself and what family is really about.

With their marriage crumbling, a husband and wife acting team try to hold their family's theater company together long enough to get legendary film director Frank Capra to cast them in his film remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. But between a pregnant ingénue and a surprise visit from their daughter, things go horribly and comically wrong. Moon Over Buffalo is a fast-paced farce that ran for more than 300 performances on Broadway and was written by Ken Ludwig who created the hit comedy Lend Me a Tenor. Learn More

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Great casting, the director played the part of the grandfather, and was so exuberant, reminded me of some of my own relatives. Recommend this play highly.
